bound without consulting the State Printer,
MIR. Cross cited the law, and claimed that
had the Librarian done otherwise he would
have violated the law. AS to the charge
OF mIsappropriating funds, the speaker
GAINED that under the law the Trustees,
and not the Librarian, had the absolute
control of the funds of the library, and that
ne could not be charged with any misap-
preparation of them.
Mi. Booth, in reply to Mr. Cross, denied
that the letters containing the charges
which had been sent to the individual
members of the Board were personal let
tiers. They were sent to the members in
their official capacities.
MIR. Shields thought that no injustice
would be done to the Librarian to file the
letter as charges. The letters were evil
dentiV intended to serve as charges by the
Governor. We can receive them as charges
IN the sense that a Court would receive a
defective complaint or indictment, and
after the proof is submitted can act upon it.
Mr.. Hinkson inquired if the adoption of
the motion of Mr.. Booth would operate to
preclude the present consideration of Mr.
Wallis demurrer.
Mr.. Belcher Thought demurrer in q pro-
ceeding of this kind was useless. A de-
murrer that complaint does not ate a
cause OF action is not good i'll any Court
! pui II ahlDigulty IS charged, that Is another
matter. Ia this matter he saw no reason
for demurrer, for if the charges were not
sustained no barn could come. If the
charges are sTouudlasS they Will be disre-
garded.
MIR. Rodgers, replying to Mr.. Cross that in
the preferFing OF charges of this character
the Governor stood precisely as a private
citizen, and cited Section $50 of the Politi-
| cal Code.
The motion of Mr. Booth was put to the
Board and it was carried by a vote of
to l-Mr. Freeman voting no.
| Mr. Jordan asked that the Controller be
permitted to take to his office The vouchers
| for moneys paid for the Library, and the
| minutes and some other books showing the
| finances of the Library. Several members
OF the Board objected to the vouchers be-
ing permitted to leave the Library, as they
constituted the primary evidences that the
Board had of the expenditures that had
been made in the last six years. They
were willing that full examination should
| be had of those documents in the Library.
but some OF the members stated that the
Controllers Office was hostile" and they
preferred, as the distance between the
offices of the LIBRA ian and the Controller
was the same each way, that the Controller
could come up to the Library. No obiec-
ton was made to permitting the books OF
the Library TO be taken by the Controller
a paper was filed by counsel for the
Librarian in the nature of demurrer and
answer to the charges.

Since Tolstoi's works grew popular the rage
for everything Russian has been steadily grow
cultured girls in New York and Boston who
always eXclaim M ~ or Da 81 whenever the
occasion calls for an inteljection like the char
acters in Anne Karenina.'
Then some Of the American papas ought
to take these cultured daughters out and
box their ears until the Russophobia is
knocked out of their silly heads. If there
is any one thing more absurd and foolish
than another, it is the periodical craze
among the male and female sentimentalists,
and the empty-headed dudes and dudenes
of America, to copy latter, and ape in
language, dress and behavior the peculiar
tiles and follies of the people of another
nation. We are told that because of the
Russian craze, the United States is now to
be afflicted with an epidemic of Russian
fashions and mimicry Thus it is said
that there is young Russian in Boston
this winter who is to have class of young
women who will read Russian novels in
the original In New York they will con-
tent themselves with eating and dressing
like the Russians Mrs. Willie Wander
bits sister wore a Russian peasants dress
at Narragansett Pier two summers ago and
at that time it was called perfectly hide
ous," but now it is being widely copied.
The women will wear Russian dresses at
teas. They will call their teas prazdink,
and will serve the drink boiling hot, as is
the fashion in the land of the Gar. Rus
sian music will be all the rage Russian
sleighs will be seen in great numbers and
coachmen and footman will be rugged in
Russian style. Select ladies' luncheons will
be intensely Russian After the con-
somme, bird, salad, and ice will ,be served
boiling hot coffee in little Russian Jugs
with spoon, package of Turkish cigar
cites and Russian torch on small indi-
vidual tray. The idea is to sip the coffee
between the puffs of the cigarette, and this
idea is to be supplemented by a score more
of other tom-fool" notions. If the pro-
moters Of the craze will but insist upon its
devotees wearing the Russian knout as an
ornament, and hanging their walls with
the chains and shackles of Siberia, and
otherwise making a fair and impartial ex-
hibit of Russian tolerance and humanity,
the mild insanity that gave birth to the
original folly may be atoned for. How
ever, as a monotone becomes disagreeable
and even painful to the ear, the fact that
the Russian craze will give us surcease from
the Anglomania, and put the nose of the
copyist after English dudeism out of joint,
we may have reason to be thankful for the
change, simply because it is change.

fields of labor, the extension of railroads,
and the marvellous development of the
southern section of the State, labor con-
ditions have materially changed and the
tramp has found no excuse for idleness.
At the same time the penniless and the
unthrifty have learned that California is
not an inviting field and ceased immigrat-
ing to the State For three years past
perhaps more, the new corners have been
men with at least small means. While we
have gained in industrial opportunities for
the worker, we have got rid of the tramp
and in his place are receiving an indus
trious, aforementioned class. Our lands
are being rapidly occupied, agriculture is
bidding for white labor, Chinese immigra-
ton is discouraged, and the competition
between it and white labor has materially
lessened, but so far as it remains, is no less
obnoxious than formerly.
Our San Francisco contemporary at
tributes the improved condition of the
present IN great part TO sensl0ly better
system of dispensing charities on the part
of local charitable organizations While
some advance has been made in this
respect, and indiscriminate alms-giving has
materially diminished, we cannot concede
that it has been very important factor OF
reform, for the organized charities have
only begun the reforms open to them
They have made as yet but single step in
the right direction. When they shall
have systematized the whole scheme Of
local charity upon a joint detective
and discovery basis, nearly all manner Of
imposition upon the charitable will
cease, and there will be practically nc
expenditure of aims upon the profigate
Incorporate and willfully idle.

"Dale, has Kirk been around this
morning." asked the Judge, as he
finished looking over the mail.
mo, your honor, but | hear him on
the stair now" said Dale.
The Marshal came in, accompanied
by Patrick Quinn, who was nervous
and weak, and seemed to be absent
minded. The Judge propounded the
usual questions, and the defendant
answered that he was sick, and that he
was so sick that he had to lay down.
His stomach seemed to turn upside
down, and his tired eXtreminties was
not sufficient to hold up the terrible
amount of sickness he had on hand,
consequently he had to lay down. He
did not do so from choice, but as a pure
matter of necessity.
Yes" said his honor, '1've seen
people who were afflicted in that way.
1t must be horrible, Patrick. You have
periodical attacks of this sickness, Pat
rick, and the frequentnesS of the period
icalS depend wholly upon your financial
ability to procure preventatives. Pat
rick, you are getting to be an old man.
The sands of your life are pretty well
run out. and this sickness business of
yours makes you no better very fast.
You can almost hear the beautiful
strains of the angelic chords every time
you get sick hoped that the antidote
| administered to your particular COM
plant some days since would serve as
a cathartic and cleanse your anatomy
of the lurking SYMPTOMS of disease and
help you on general principles; but Pat
rick, it wasn't strong enough. l will
double the dose, in the hope that your
extremely sensitive nature will respond
to the demands of justice and common
sense, and prove an effective cure for
your malady. Five dollars and costs,
Patrick and stand committed until
paid"
Patrick followed the marshal from
the room which contained no attractive
features for him, and returned to the
quay.
